Due to its powerful anti-oxidative and capillary protection activities Taxifolin-rich extract (DHQ) is most widely used in dietary supplements and pharmaceutical products. DHQ is compatible with vitamins, mineral complexes, and medicinal plant extracts.

Taxifolin-rich extract proven biological effects include:

• Anti-oxidative activity

• Vitamin P activity

• Capillary protection: improving microcirculation and blood flow at the capillary level, promoting the development of new capillaries

• Improvement of the elasticity of red blood cells, reduction of blood viscosity

• Improvement of the coronary blood flow and myocardial contractility, reduction of the affected zone of the cardiac muscle

• Anti-ischemic effect

• Antidepressant effect

• Reduction of the low density lipoprotein levels in blood plasma

• Stomach protection

• Liver protection

• Immune system regulation

• Inactivation of cytotoxic substances

• Radiation protection

• Synergist to vitamins А, С, Е

Taxifolin-rich extract — new possibilities in sports nutrition

Performance and endurance training, required in professional sports, is closely related to the training of one’s cardiovascular system in order to adapt it to exercise workload. This is especially important during the competition period, when physical demands are at their peak and athletes strive to push their limits.

An individual, undergoing intense physical training, utilizes oxygen at levels exceeding 75% of maximum values. The challenge here is that sustained physical exercise may result in an inadequate supply of oxygen to working muscles (known as tissue hypoxia), a result of insufficient blood supply to the tissues due to poor microcirculation.

Moreover, during maximal exercise, the metabolism of the tissue is violated. Muscles accumulate lactic acid, which causes fatigue and complicates recovery after training.

Studies show that the application of taxifolin is able to solve these problems very efficiently. Specifically, taxifolin is able to:

Improve intracardial hemodynaimcs and intensify blood flow to the myocardium
